Treating Lower Risk MDS in 2012: Applying the Most Current Clinical Research to Patient Care

During this webinar the Dr. Steensma will use a combination of lecture
and case studies to review the most current thinking on the treatment of
lower-risk MDS. He will begin with a short overview of what is known
about the MDS disease mechanism. This will be followed by a discussion
of what defines lower-risk MDS vs. higher-risk MDS and an overview of
treatment strategies and options currently being used for patients with
lower-risk MDS. This webinar will include a discussion how treatment
decisions are made. Finally, Dr. Steensma will briefly review relevant
research findings published over the last 12 months, and discuss how
these have impacted his thinking on how to best treat patients with
lower-risk MDS. Plenty of time for questions will be provided.
